Data Points: Megatron is a scoring machine

Published: September 29th, 2011 | Tags: Data Points, Calvin Johnson, Miles Austin, Vernon Davis

Thanks to his hot start in 2011, Lions WR Calvin Johnson has vaulted to the top of the list among players with the most receiving TDs since 2009. Too bad the player he passed last week — Miles Austin – is still injured and won’t be able to go head-to-head with Megatron when the Lions and Cowboys face off this Sunday.

Even more intriguing here is the fact that the lone tight end on this list is Vernon Davis of the 49ers.

No-name Panthers scoring on Ravens

Published: November 21st, 2010 | | Tags: Baltimore Ravens, Brian St. Pierre, David Gettis, Mike Goodson

Congratulations Ravens defense, you just made the list. No longer a must-start fantasy defense, the Ravens are not even taking advantage of a glorious matchup against the Panthers.

What happened to you?

Oh and don’t look now, the venerable fantasy connection of QB Brian St. Pierre and WR David Gettis just went deep for 88 yards. Even RB Mike Goodson is getting loose as he closes in on 100 rushing yards.

Not your father’s Ravens, that’s for sure. Although, that would make them the Browns, rights? In any event, the Ravens are performing so poorly, fantasy enthusiasts are allowed to openly root against Baltimore.

UPDATE: The Ravens just scored a defensive touchdown. But you know what, you still let St. Pierre score a touchdown on you. It’s too little, too late.

UPDATE II: And there’s Ray Lewis running in a interception for a touchdown. Obviously my pep talk has inspired the Ravens in the closing moments. But will keep the Ravens on the list to keep them motivated.
